“Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen” Genesis 46:28 (NKJV)
Whenever you need directions to your Goshen, send Praise to the Almighty God.
Jacob needed to get to his longtime fulfillment of meeting Joseph and begin his enjoyable purposeful life in the prosperous and peaceful part of Egypt. (Goshen).
He put forward Praise to get him there.
Judah (Praise-GOD) is your key to consecutive victory in all your purposeful assignments in life.
Israel was ready to go to war Judah was put first to lead the way. “All that were numbered in the camp of Judah… These shall first set forth.” Numbers 2:9 (KJV)
Again we see Praise at work in giving Victory to the children of Israel in another war “As soon as they started shouting and praising, GOD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir as they were attacking Judah, and they all ended up dead. The Ammonites and Moabites mistakenly attacked those from Mount Seir and massacred them. Then, further confused, they went at each other, and all ended up killed.” 2 Chronicles 20:22-23 (MSG).
As you seek direction and victory in your life’s assignment, let Praise lead the way, and surely your success is guaranteed.
Your enemies will be confused and destroyed as in the scriptures above when you engage in Praise as they did.
Remember again when they needed the wall of Jericho to come down, they shouted praise, and the wall came down (Joshua 6:20).
In Acts 16 Paul and Silas were thrown into jail. They sang their praises to God HE responded, and they were set free (Acts 16:25-40).
Praise your way to continuous direction and Victory
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14 (KJV)
Wait on the LORD is said twice by the psalmist in this scripture is emphasizing to you that you need to be patient and not move until you get your result.
It is so easy to give up on waiting when what you are waiting for seems to delay.
However, God is saying to you today again keep hope alive.
What is it that He has promised you?
Be confident that once you have heard from Him what He said He would do be patient, maintain your confession of faith it will surely come to pass.
“God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God.”
Psalm 62:11 (AMPC)
Hear what God has spoken to you with your external and internal hears and do not doubt.
Elijah surely heard from God the sound of the abundance of rain, but he kept sending the servant back “seven times “ before the servant could see a small cloud.
“And at the seventh time the servant said, A cloud as small as a man’s hand is arising out of the sea. And Elijah said, Go up, say to Ahab, Hitch your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.” 1 Kings 18:44 (AMPC)
In the context of our scripture today you can say Elijah “waited” seven times!!!.
Be empowered today by the truth that God that has spoken to you cannot lie, and He does not fail.
“Sometimes in life, you’ll find that
You get in a hurry
But when you have assurance
No need to worry
You can wait, wait, wait on the Lord, and you’ll see
“And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him…… Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.” Exodus 2: 4-8 (KJV)
Have you ever wondered how Miriam was able to have the courage and faith to wait and see what would happen to her baby brother?
How did she get the right words to speak to Pharaoh’s daughter that yielded the needed results?
The scriptures tell us that God promises “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8 (KJV)
Are you in a situation like Miriam today looking at what is going to happen next?
Can you imagine the initial anxiety of Moses mother as she left the baby and then the unbelievable surprise of how her daughter now came to call her to be employed as a nurse to her child in a land that was killing other sons?
Are you also watching to see what would happen?
God is the same yesterday today and forever.
His miracles are still available for you today.
The wisdom, courage, and faith HE gave to Miriam are still available for you today.
Keep trusting and praising HIM.
I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress.
Don’t just stand afar off.
Focus with your eyes of faith, a grateful heart and keep listening.
He showed up for this peculiar need.
Yours is the next testimony of His instructions and guidance.
“It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 (AMPC)
“I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. ” Genesis 46:4 (KJV)
God has always been the beginning and the end.
Whatsoever HE starts HE ultimately brings it to a successful conclusion.
When Israel was in a challenging situation of the continuity of his purposeful life God appeared to him and gave the assurance that he will go with him, abide with him and be there at the conclusion of his life.
Where are you on your purposeful life today?
God is speaking to you again today that HE that has started the good work in you will surely bring it to a logical and fruitful conclusion.
“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; besides me, there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 (KJV)
Through Prophet Isaiah above HE is again assuring you that HE has not only started with you HE is involved with you in the process, and NO else but HIM alone is God that finishes successfully what he starts.
“I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this glorious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you and will put his finishing touches to it until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!” Philippians 1:6 (TPT)
Be encouraged today that the projects of life that HE has started with you will surely be gloriously finished with His wisdom and guidance.
I am the Aleph and the Tav the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Completion.” Revelation 22:13 (TPT)
Abraham said, “I just assumed that there was no fear of God in this place and that they’d kill me to get my wife. Besides, the truth is that she is my half-sister; she’s my father’s daughter but not my mother’s. When God sent me out as a wanderer from my father’s home, I told her, ‘Do me a favor; wherever we go, tell people that I’m your brother.'” Genesis 20:11-13 (MSG)
Do not always assume.
Abraham just assumed, and his assumption in the above passage was not only wrong but led him to lie.
Whenever a thought passes through your mind, please check out the source of it before you act it out.
Relationships at various levels have always been negatively impacted whenever people act on their assumptions…
Marriages, friendships, businesses and even personal decisions could go wrong when people in it assume without verifying facts from each other.
God was merciful to Abraham in the story above, but there were still consequences of his assumption.
“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. ” Proverbs 23:23 (KJV)
Be diligent to always seek the truth on every matter before you act on it. Praise God you have the Holy Spirit to ask and HE will give you the illumination you need.
When you assume something about someone else, you are making a judgment about that person. “Refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others, and judgment will not be passed on you.” Matthew 7:1(TPT) Do not judge unfairly.
Follow the golden rule and treat others the way we would like to be treated (Matt. 7:12).
Do not be the sole prosecutor, jury, and judge in other peoples matter. Always find out the truth first.
When privileged to make an input in any matter find out the truth before you make your contributions. “Answering before listening is both stupid and rude.” Proverbs 18:13 (MSG)
Today lets put away assumptions and act only on truths that we verify before taking action.
